This is the first Neapolitan song I ever learned. My great grandmother used to sing it to my grandfather and my great aunts and uncles. My grandfather, Poppy Carmine, taught it to me.

I must add—beautiful work by Andrew Ardito, too. This was a perfect arrangement and mix. I'm a recordist and would be very proud to have made this.

The sweetest of the sweet. This is just perfection.

I have to admit, this brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely exquisite.

Came to hear the AA mic; stayed for the incredibly beautiful singing.

Yep...tears. My man, thank you for this. Just like the other video, I came for the microphone and stayed for the amazing voice and beautiful song. Thank you.

Vincent, all the years you've put into building and training your voice makes it a bit difficult to know what we lesser mortals with our frog croakings are going to sound like through the mics you're demonstrating. :)

Thanks again. Just terrific!

Beautiful, I came across this video from your M49 Mic discussion.
